Tommy Engman Posted November 23, 2021 at 02:40 PM Posted November 23, 2021 at 02:40 PM Would it be possible for VATSIM and IVAO to jointly contact Asobo/Microsoft with a request for accurate taxi signs and taxiways on airliner airports? As it is now its up and down. Fairly OK for EGLL, catastrophic at LFPG for example. EDDB. LSZH. LEMD. A.s.o. How is it at US airports?

Andreas Fuchs Posted November 23, 2021 at 05:24 PM Posted November 23, 2021 at 05:24 PM Is it just the signs or as well the general layout of these airports, that are faulty? Incorrect signs can be mitigated by using ground charts (e.g. count taxiways until turn to another taxiway is required) or by using a moving map - LittleNavMap comes to mind.

During my time playing MSFS (I haven't played in 4 months) but from what I have seen, The taxiways and parking are pretty much up-to date in the United States. Then again when I did use MSFS I only flew out of ATL, BOS, and MCO so I can't speak for the entire United States.

Ralph Kloess Posted November 25, 2021 at 12:15 AM Posted November 25, 2021 at 12:15 AM My mileage varied in the US Oakland was worst with the bump on rwy 30 short before W3. I had outdated taxisigns, misaligned parking spots. Overall the scenery is fairly accurate and the quality is good. On the flightsimulator.com forum is a list of missing airports (mostly tiny airfields or community airports) Cheers Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrej Lippay Posted December 22, 2021 at 11:24 AM Posted December 22, 2021 at 11:24 AM Slightly off topic, but taxiway signs are hard to read as well. Custom made scenery is much easier to ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
